    A nifty little gaming card of good-old addictive goodness, and a bargain bin must-have if I ever saw one.

    Just to be clear, there’s very little that 7 Wonder of the World offers that’s lacking from every other DS puzzle game out there. It’s a Bejeweled clone that isn’t quite as polished or focused as that game.

    A competent rehash of the Bejeweled formula, 7 Wonders of the Ancient World delivers a classic puzzle experience, but it doesn’t stray from the beaten path.

    7 Wonders has an interesting premise, and the tidbits you learn about the seven different wonders are fun to read, however interesting premises and random factoids don’t add up to a great game if the gameplay isn’t there.

    Addictive and fun. Instead of just playing just for high scores, you complete levels and work your way up to completing 8 levels in total with limited lives. If you run out of lives, you have to start your quest to complete the 8 levels all over again and that aspect is a bit of a bummer but that's what makes you coming back for more. I assume once you finish the game you may get bored of it but it's not that easy.… Expand

    I was very interested in the faux-MMORPG concept, but incredibly bored by the repetitive gameplay. After a while, I just couldn't force myself to walk through the same series of rooms over and over anymore. This game is worth renting, but not buying.… Expand
